The white paper is pretty impressive. It really shows the difference between companies that are truly moving forward the state of the art, and those that claim they are.

kenjit you are just here for comic relief right? Can you please provide a link in the Stereophile review where they measure the difference in distortion between the old and new versions? The new Meta has a significantly smoother response. For all your chest pumping, perhaps it is too obvious you don't even know how to read a response graph. Your posts are just weird. It is virtually a given you have not heard the Meta and I suspect not the original either. Not the be all and end all of speakers, but very good for the price. |
I never mentioned anything about distortion. They did compare the ls50 and the meta and the graph shows the response is pretty much identical. I will stick with my original conclusion that you don't know how to read a response graph for a speaker. The new LS50 Meta is much smoother, There are far fewer evidences of resonances in the new LS50 Meta.
That is not something to be proud of. The new LS50 Meta has a very smooth response. One should be quite curious about distortion ... which you did inadvertently mention when you said "noise". That is a guess from your part having never heard it. I briefly heard the ls50 and they had no bass. Also the sound quality changed too much when I moved my head up or down. The metas will be no different in these respects One would not expect them to have much bass. In the vast majority of listening room, probably >95%, deep bass would be better served by well placed (for bass) subwoofers. As this graph shows, the LS50 Meta, changes very little over the typically very small vertical listening window most people use: https://www.stereophile.com/images/1220KEF50fig06.jpg This would be superior to most speakers with the exception of planar arrays and electrostats which can have their own issues. You are clearly making up an issue that does not actually exist. The coaxial tweeter ameliorates response anomalies that can occur from vertical angle change. |
